The city of Modesto, California needs more water. The town engineer has selected two plans for comparison: a gravity-based plan

o-na [289]

Answer:

a pumping plan (pump water from a closer water source to the city) is prefered.

the breakeven investment cost in year 10 is $1311018. 802 in order to make these two projects equally preferable

Explanation:

From the given information; we are to :

(a) Use an annual cash flow analysis to find out which plan is preferred

(b) What is the breakeven investment cost in year 10 to make these two projects equally preferable?

The two plans selected by the engineer are:

a gravity-based plan (divert water from the Sierras and pipe it by gravity to the city)

a pumping plan (pump water from a closer water source to the city).

In order to achieve that; let's find out the Present Value for each plan.

The Present Value (PV) of cost related to a gravity-based plan is:

$PV = 2800000 +1000 a_{40} _{\urcorner}$ at 10%

$PV = 2800000 +97790.50$

PV = $2897790.5

The Present Value (PV) of cost related to a pumping plan

$PV = 1400000+ \dfrac{200000}{(1+i)^{10}}+ 25000 a_{40}_{\urcorner}+5000 a_{10}_{\urcorner} + \dfrac{100000 a_{30} _{\urcorner}}{(1+i)^{10}}$ at 10%

PV = 1400000 + 77108.66 + 244476.27 + 307228.36+363448.36

PV = $2392261.65

Thus; we consider the PV with lower value in order to determine which plan is prefered.

Thus; a pumping plan (pump water from a closer water source to the city) is prefered.

(b).

What is the breakeven investment cost in year 10 to make these two projects equally preferable

Let assume that I = the break even investment cost in year 10 for the prefered pumping plan.

Then;

$2897790.5 = $2392261.65 + (I/(1+i)¹⁰) at 10%

$2897790.5 - $2392261.65 = (I/(1+i)¹⁰) at 10%

$505528.85 = (I/(1+i)¹⁰) at 10%

0.3856 I = 505528.85

I = 505528.85/0.3856

I = $1311018.802

Thus; the breakeven investment cost in year 10 is $1311018.802 in order to make these two projects equally preferable

Which of the following is true for a stock whose returns are more variable than the market's returns? a. The stock's beta will b

sdas [7]

Answer:

c. The stock's beta will be greater than one.

Explanation:

In order to understand the right answer here, we need to understand what Beta is and what does it represent.

Well, Beta tells about the responsiveness of any stock in comparison with the stock market index. For example, if the index move 100 points positive and the stock price moves $120 positive, this means that the stock is very responsive and has a high beta of more than 1. For stocks that are less response to stock market, their beta is less than 1, while for stocks who move the exact same direction as per the stock market, their beta is said to be equal to 1.

Here, in this question, since the stock return is more variable than the market return, it clearly tells that the Beta of that stock will be greater than one.

Hope this helps, Good Luck.

Today's Fashions has a debt that has been properly reported as long-term debt before this year. Part of this debt is due this ye

siniylev [52]

Answer:

Current ratio will be overstated

Explanation:

Current ratio measures the short term solvency of a firm. In other words, it measures the ability of the firm to meet its current obligations. It is the ratio of current assets to current liabilities.

A part of long term liability that is to be paid this year is considered current liabilities. If today's fashion continues to report debt due in the current year as long term liability, then current liabilities reported would be lesser than the actual position. As such, current ratio calculated would be higher than what it is actually. So, current ratio will be overstated in this case.
